[@GuzziHeroV50]

I'm sure a million people have said but Alita's eyes are oversized because she's from Mars. Further from the sun, lower light levels, bigger eyes. In the anime, only Martian characters have these large eyes, like in the movie.

[@Ty-qv3ml]

Nice explanation.

In the manga is the same situation?

[@Baykko]

[@ThyGreenKnight]

So, anime martian eyes must be insane!

[@DeaconBastyonDuncan]

Reason her eyes are larger is due to her being from Mars, further away from the Sun they needed bigger eyes and dilation to have the same effect as humans would on earth.

[@raichuodd8025]

And anime because this movie was based off an anime

[@somefrenchweirdo5692]

raichu odd no it’s explained in the anime, it’s not cause anime, it’s actually because since they are battle angels they must have a perfect eye view so they are able to see their enemies and fight them, and since they are from Mars, further away from the sun they need bigger eyes and stuff to dilute the light. Also she is a Martian, and in the manga, martians have huge eyes

[@bilhelm000]

That...makes me like the movie even more

[@nootmetod3ath900]

So all anime characters are from Mars

[@cophfe]

@@somefrenchweirdo5692 what, do you think when they designed the character they calculated the exact eye dilation needed for the most realistic martian? No they were like anime is neat, let's make it look anime and decided later 'oh it's cuz she's from Mars" edit: y'all I'm not saying it wasnt in the original manga. I meant that they designed the character first in a manga/anime art style, and part of the design included big eyes. They then made a lore reason for the large eyes. I'm just saying that i highly doubt the lore reason came first.

[@AlexJonHarvey]

"A shot that looks completely average, and has a disproportionate amount of work put into it." That's called "bumping the lamp," a phrase coined during the production of Who Framed Rodger Rabbit - an actor bumped a lamp so the animators had to spend hundreds more hours dealing with a constantly changing light source. Worth looking up, it's amazing, and would be a very good thing to talk about one episode. Also, RIP Richard Williams.

[@lamcb.9476]

Next to the whole Alita Mars eyes thing, from a character artist's standpoint. Her being so unique in her design and facial features paired with the top tier animation and fantastic acting made Alita a stranger in this world. She's not a human, not a robot, not a cyborg like the others. She is her own being. And her being so unique with the big googoo eyes actually helps you adjust to that tonal whiplash of her unrealistic proportions next to a normal human, next to a cyborg abomination. I member sitting down with my friend (also artist), I was familiar with the manga with the original OVA and at the end we just sat in the theatre and discussed stuff. And we agreed. Blowing up her eyes, actually helped beating the uncanny valley

[@kentslocum]

That's exactly what I was going to say! Alita's animators leaned into the larger eyes in order to pull her out of the uncanny valley. By making her less realistic, she actually became more believable.

Add the fact that he has been working on it even before his previous hit "avatar", battle angel was well prepared and almost on point with the manga because James is a big fan of the manga and is very familiar with the details of it, i think that's why he did a large scale budget on the battle angel movie, it's pretty worth it though

For anyone curious, the reason Dr. Manhattan glows blue is due to something called Cherenkov Radiation. It is easily visible in nuclear reactors with large pools, and it forms because electrons are emmitted during the nuclear reaction at very close to the speed of light, BUT the speed of light in water is way slower than the normal speed of light, so the electrons are travelling through the water faster than light could, and thus release that blue light.

I wish I could like this more. Narnia (only the first one) became my standard for fantasy movies.... Even when and where they used CGI, it felt plausible, and where they didn't use CGI, the practical effects and costuming were great. Mr. Tumnus has very few shots showing his legs for example, but aside from a couple establishing shots, his legs after mostly implied, which works well since digitigrades are a pain in the butt to do.
